Christian Benteke won't abandon Crystal Palace for China

Christian Benteke has no plans to abandon Crystal Palace for the Chinese Super League.

The Belgium international could earn at least double his current £100,000-per-week with a move to China - but the striker will not consider a move to the Far East.

Instead, he wants to stay at Selhurst Park to help the club move away from relegation danger, says the Daily Mail.

Benteke joined Palace from Liverpool in a club record deal worth up to £32million in the summer, scoring eight goals since his arrival - making him the Eagles' top scorer this season.

And both player and the club are committed to making the transfer a success.
